Clinton to Democrats: I’m the Obama heir, not Sanders

If there were any doubt, Sunday’s debate erased it. Hillary Clinton is closely embracing President Barack Obama and essentially offering his third term. Bernie Sanders is offering a clear alternative, promising a “political revolution.”

1. Smart political move. It took her this long to figure out who the new base of the Dem Party is.

Which is sad.

2. All hail the TPP.

6. No shit! She can BE the Obama heir, that's not who I want to vote for! nt

3. I think Biden/Warren will have something to say about that. n/t

4. Savvy move. n/t

5. She's smart all she got to do is look at 2014 midterms

Those idiot democrats tried to run away from Obama and got slaughtered

[Thinkingabout]

10. Good point.

7. You can like Obama and not want a third Obama term.

Progress is moving forward, not staying in place.

It is conservatives who are usual cautious about change and innovation.

Against the extreme Tea Party Repuglicans we need an enthusiastic and energetic fighter ... and that's what I saw last night in Sen. Sanders.

8. As Chuck Todd put it: "Hillary's wrapping herself in Obama" to shield herself from criticism ..

yep, that's what she's at least trying to do. She's a smooth operator, but I don't think she's
fooling very many people.

9. I realize some here tend to throw Obama under the bus but we have to give credit

Where credit is due, Obama used a lot of political capital on ACA, he has also performed well in other areas. Hillary was in his cabinet and they have a healthy respect for each other and share a lot of the same views. Yes she was right to embrace Obama.

13. I went door to door for Obama, now, Im doing the same for Bernie. You all think we are

RWNJ's now? Hardly. Hillary is actually a repub lite and I will keep saying that until she proves me wrong. If she gives back all the money she's gotten from wall street, big pharma, etc, then Ill believe it.

11. The "Heir?" C'mon, she didn't really say that. Seriously?

We don't have political heirs in this country.

[Wilms]

12. The headline is saying that she says as much.

But I don't see it as a quote from her.

[senz]

14. She's trying to pit Bernie against Obama, hoping to turn Dems against him.

Bernie and Obama get along just fine. They like each other; Obama campaigned for Bernie and Bernie campaigned for Obama.

Hillary tries to stir up enmity to make herself look good. Bernie's approach is much more straightforward: he talks about what he wants for the American people.

[onecaliberal]

15. That's why I'm voting for Bernie.
